It's not replicating it that is impressive. That part is easy. Of course consciousness wouldn't be that hard. Of course it would be mostly an emergent property of various building blocks. Of course homo sapiens would eventually be able to do the same thing.

The impressive part is replicating it and then teaching it real Love. Love is a choice. Producing life that chooses to make that choice and defend that choice is impressive.

I think this is the same problem. How would you measure when a human is taught love? How would you differentiate that from measuring when one of these programs is taught love?

It feels like it always boils down to: 1) you can’t. Or 2) “trust me, it’s different.”

It's simple - observe what the candidate does when they have to show true love in order to move on to the next level. If they fail, they don't move on to the next level.
